Randall plans to plead guilty, Albright said In his first interview since he fled southern Utah and drove to the Midwest with the money, Randall told KSL-TV that he did not plan to steal the money from the Wells Fargo van he had been driving for five years. "It was a stupid thing.

Wire new summitry: (continued from front page) Necmettin Erbakan's visit as evidence the Clinton administration's plan to isolate Iran for allegedly sponsoring international terrorism has failed. "The prime minister of Turkey is setting foot in our country at a time when the world has risen up against the United States and its irrational decisions," the moderate daily Abrar said. President Clinton signed a law Monday that bars U.S. and foreign companies from investing more than $40 million a year in oil and gas sectors in Iran and Libya. The sanctions have been widely criticized by the European Union and Russia, which have said they won't go along with them.

Last week, State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said the United States "will watch the development of this relationship very carefully." "We have made it clear to the Turkish government that Iran is a state that should be isolated," Burns said then. Erbakan, leader of Turkey's Islamic party, arrived in Tehran this morning for his first foreign trip since taking office in June. He is expected to meet several times with Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani. Erbakan has dismissed any suggestion that U.S. criticism should change his plans for the visit.

Abrar, a Farsi-language newspaper, noted that the proposed $20 billion gas deal fell squarely within the realm of the U.S. law, which targets investments in the energy sector. "This is the first victory for Iran directly after the sensational signing of the U.S. bill," the newspaper said. The 22-year agreement calls for oil- and gas-rich Iran to sell 140 billion cubic feet of gas per year to Turkey beginning in 1998.

It also calls for construction of pipelines in Iran and Turkey. Philippines volcano BACOLOD, Philippines (AP) A volcano in the central Philippines spewed a column of ash nearly 5,000 feet into the sky today, killing at least two mountain climbers and injuring several others. The bodies of two climbers were brought down Can-: laon volcano on central Negros island, said Mayor Juancho Aguirre of La Carlota city. Nine climbers were rescued today, and seven others were injured but safe and would be brought down Sun-day, he said. Aguirre had sent searchers to look for 10 Belgians and 11 Filipinos who went up the mountain Friday.

There was no word on two Britons and their three guides who climbed Canlaon from another town. Small earthquakes have been recorded at the 8: volcano since July 29, said Lilia Tansinsin of the Philip-li: pine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.

Corvell. The Corvell House has particular historic significance because it was the home of II II Coryell. Wells' first mayor. Before the City of Wells became an incorporated city in 1927 with a need for a mayor. Coryell served as justice of the peace for Wells Township He was elected to the Nevada Legislature 22 times, and served 44 years as a representative.

The Corvell House was donated to the city last fall by Zelda Wiseman. Wiseman is the 89-year-old widow of Emmett Coryell Wiseman.

According to Wiseman, her husband was reared by H.H. Coryell and his wife. Anna Wiseman Coryell, from infancy. Emmett Wiseman was Anna Coryell's nephew. Zelda Wiseman said.

"Emmett al-wavs thought of the Coryells as his parents, even though he had a father living. He went by the name Emmett Corvell. However, in the 1940s Emmett had a sensitive job and the government insisted he use his legal name, so he tacked Wiseman on after Corvell. "The Corvell name should mean something in Wells." Wiseman said. "I donated the house because I want the house and the name preserved.

We have let so much of our heritage go. The buildings on Wells' Front Street were once wonderful buildings filled with flourishing businesses." she said. "It's sad to see them Sl.C 9fi2 BOISE- 8 FRISCO- Ml I i4 106V Elko statistics Record High: 99 W- 35 '85 Mo. Pep: .00 in. Water Year: 11.28 in.

Elko city councilmen once again will consider whether to ask Nevada Department of Transportation to take over east Idaho Street when they meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday at city hall.

At the request of Assemblyman John Carpenter, the council spent more than an hour at its July 23 meeting discussing whether the advantage of having the state maintain the street would outweigh the city's loss of jurisdiction. At that meeting NDOT District Engineer Chris Beck suggested that if the city were to surrender east Idaho Street it should consider surrendering all the street. The council also will consider yielding Idaho Street from Fifth Street to Interstate 80 Exit 303. More bodies recovered from flood in Pyrenees fall that amassed into a giant wall of Trustees may approve i i i reopening Elko Countv School District trus BIESCAS. Spain (AP) Rescuers today pulled five more bodies out of the mud and debris left by flash floods that killed at least 77 vacationers at a campground near the French border.

While relatives arrived in the popular Pyrenees Mountain tourist region to "identifv bodies, the search continued for at least 20 other people missing from the roughly 650 campers caught in the flood's path. Officials today said 77 bodies have been recovered. Some 600 rescue workers focused their search on a reservoir nine miles down the River Gallego from the camp, and in muddy fields strewn with boulders, debris from fallen trees and the remains of cars and campers twisted and tossed during Wednesday's storm. "I don't think any of us. even those who didn't suffer a loss, will forget this horror anytime soon." said Angel Molina, who held his wife and child as their camper was dragged 180 feet water behind a concrete walking bridge and a line of mountain trees above the campsite.

Eventually, the mass of water split the bridge into pieces unleashing two massive flash floods as high as 12 feet into the Las Nieves campground. Many of the bodies remain in a skating rink in the skiing resort town of Jaca. 20 miles west of the campsite. Officials feared that rains, expected late today, could hamper efforts to locate other bodies. Meanwhile, environmental groups blamed the accident on government officials, saying they ignored warnings that the campsite lay at the bottom of a steep mountain ravine prone to flooding.

National radio reported that a local judge will begin investigating the causes of the flooding. The Aragon regional government countered that the kind of torrential the area.
